Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia: DAZN Deal Had To Be Structured In Way That Leaves Me Happy

[marvin douglas]

Mikey showed me he had no integrity when he first pumped after every round of the Spence fight.. That did put a bad taste in my mouth... Was he crediting himself for surviving? Or was he trying to convince his fans or judges he was winning??? Wtf?

He was pumping his fist cause he won those rounds. I had it 6-5-1 for miukey 14-113. The judges were blind and so are you if can't see mikey won that fight.

Fricken Hearn acting like they Locked Up Mikey for years.

Eddie is such a fraud

Mikey probably got tired of waiting... only thing about PBC is the wait... each top name only fights twice a year. I think Tank was the only PBC guy who got 3 fights in this year, Danny G only fought once. Thurman of course... he seem's like he's happy with fighting once a year.

Very happy to see DAZN succeed! They've actually brought regular boxing to Canada outside of ridiculous PPV prices – first time since God knows when.

Well played Mikey!!! Was worried when i heard he signed with DAZN, but glad to read that he stuck to his guns and didn't accept any long term BS. I've said it before, thisis how boxers have to do it. Can't go fully independent like Floyd (few can), so don't lock yourself in with any promoter or promotional outfit. Andrade drank the cool aid and he's in a worst situation than before when it comes to securing big fights!

He has a ONE fight deal with Matchroom, that isn't signing to anyone. He is very clever, he would pick up his biggest payday against a fighter who isn't as dangerous as Spence (Where he made less on PPV).

If it is true he is getting 7M against Vargas, then no, he didn't make less against Spence.

Mikey is the true definition of a business man. You have to respect it. Not going to be loyal to anyone but himself. Always will leave himself with an opportunity to go elsewhere if it makes more business sense.

If he sticks on DAZN and they can't get Pacquiao over there, then he can still fight some of the stud 140 pounders.

How much did he make against Spence? Didn't know he was guaranteed more than the 7M that DAZN offered him.

Just for the record, Mikey made more than 7 million for the fight with Spence. But 7 million to fight Vargas, who is likely a level or two below Errol, is a damned good deal.

According to reports, both fighters are set to be paid $8 million apiece for the pay-per-view event.

According to Idec, Spence's guarantee was 9M and Garcia's guarantee was 8.5M. And the way the PPV performed as well as the near 5M gate, both probably got close to the 10M mark, depending on how the PPV revenue was going to be split between the two.
